'''Colorbars''' are a type of [[fanart]]. Several pictures sharing a theme are lined up (often, but not always, shaded different colours), and a caption is placed underneath. For example, a colorbar of [[Naruto]]'s [[Team 7]] might say "Team 7 is ninja love." Colorbars were made to express love for [[fandoms]], characters, and [[pairings]], as well as a wide variety of non-fannish subjects.

It spread as a [[meme]].<ref>[http://www.ainself.net/irony/get_medieval/fandomvocab.htm The Language of Fandom] (accessed 16 July 2013)</ref><ref>[https://encyclopediadramatica.se/Colorbar Encyclopedia Dramatica: Colorbar] (accessed 16 July 2013)</ref>
